Area guide

Orihuela Costa & Playa Flamenca

One of the most desirable areas on the Costa Blanca: 300 days of sunshine, Blue Flag beaches, and a clean coastal environment with no heavy industry.

Orihuela Costa, in the south of Alicante province, enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year, Blue Flag beaches, golf courses, natural parks, and a lively mix of culture and leisure. Areas like Playa Flamenca and Punta Prima work just as well for a holiday as for year-round living.
